HC Deb 02 March 1910 vol 14 c858
Mr. HAYDEN

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Commissioners of National Education in Ireland have decided that the salaries of teachers shall be paid in future monthly instead of quarterly, as heretofore; and, if so, when the new system will come into operation?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Irish Government have been in communication with the Treasury in reference to this matter. A large cost is involved, and there has not been time to consider the matter maturely in connection with the Estimates for the coming financial year. The question whether arrangements can be made to effect the change as regards the year 1911–12 will be fully considered before next year.
